Aug 9 Malabrigo Socks

Picked up this yarn on a whim at Knit1 when I popped in to buy some needles before my annual 4th of July trip up to the cottage. Couldn't resist those colors!

Didn't use a pattern for this pair, just cast on 64 sts and turned this ball of yarn into socks. Most of the 1st sock was knit at the cottage, and the bulk of the second sock was knit at our neighborhood block party. Knitting socks (well knitting in general) is great for so many reasons but as someone with social anxiety it's especially useful in social situations. It gives you both something to do and something to talk about with people you don't know.
